Lab Guidelines

Students should approach lab facilities and patients as if they are in an actual patient care area. This means you are to maintain clean and sterile techniques at all times (no food in patient areas, wear gloves during procedures, etc.). The approved clinical uniform and professional dress code described in the student handbooks applies to the labs.

Skills acquisition will be facilitated by:

• Self direction and student-centered learning
• Taking personal responsibility for acquiring clinical skills
• Making use of teaching aids available in the labs to assist in skill development
• Using additional practice time to master the more complex skills
• Coming prepared for scheduled skills practice
